La Vraie Histoire Du Baseball À Montréal. Le Stade Olympique, … Un Stade De Baseball D'abord. La Conception. Version Au L La Vraie Histoire du Baseball à Montréal. Le Stade Olympique, … un Stade de Baseball d’abord. La conception. Version au long. Claude Phaneuf Mai 2018 -2- Avant-propos. Le Stade Olympique est attaqué de toutes parts. Ses dénigreurs sont nombreux, ses défenseurs moins. La Vraie Histoire du Baseball à Montréal, telle que je la raconte ici, a deux buts, tout d’abord préciser hors de tout doute que le Stade Olympique est un Stade de Baseball d’abord, qu’il fut conçu en premier pour ce sport et lever le voile sur sa conception, plans à l’appui, pour démontrer qu’il a un caractère plus Québécois que l’on pense. Le dernier texte mis sur mon site date du 16 décembre 2012. Ce n’est certes pas mon habitude de rester muet aussi longtemps alors que tant d’événements méritaient mon attention ou mes commentaires. J’aurai l’opportunité d’y revenir prochainement. Dernièrement, 3 événements frappants m’ont incité à reprendre la plume et je vais les débattre à fond. Ce ne sont pas les moindres. Tout d’abord, le décès de ma femme Claudette, le 14 novembre 2017, où le Stade Olympique de Montréal n’est pas étranger à sa mort. Au même moment, M. Couillard et sa troupe choisissent d’autoriser la Régie des Installations Olympiques à poursuivre le dossier final d’affaires pour un Xième concours de bricoleurs sur le Toit du Stade, $125 Millions plus élevés que le Toit rétractable Taillibert, une nécessité pour la viabilité du Baseball à Montréal. Et le dernier affront est l’œuvre de Radio-Canada avec sa dernière série de trois épisodes dans le cadre de l’Émission « Tout le monde en parlait », les 17, 18 et 24 février 2018, une charge à fond de train contre le Stade et Mes. Jean Drapeau et Roger Taillibert, et ce, de la première ligne à la dernière des trois épisodes. À l’instar de la Commission Malouf, un seul côté de la médaille est judicieusement choisi et l’autre côté effacé. Ma plainte est faite et fera du bruit. Certains médias aidant, notre manque de confiance envers nos politiciens du parti au pouvoir est pleinement justifié. -3- Je vis ces grandes faussetés dans la Vraie Histoire du Stade et du Parc Olympique de Montréal où je fus l’un des trois pionniers concepteurs. Ces faussetés servent de paravent à un grand gaspillage des fonds publics (+ de $2 Milliards), ce qui faisait dire à M. Taillibert en juillet 2010 « Le Stade Olympique est un grand garde- manger où viennent se nourrir les partis politiques (au pouvoir) ». Tellement de faussetés sont constamment véhiculées sur le Stade de Montréal, notamment en ce qui a trait au Baseball, que mon devoir à titre de concepteur m’oblige à remettre de l’ordre là-dedans. À partir de documents et croquis, précieusement conservés, voici pour vous – Cette Vraie Histoire du Baseball à Montréal » telle que Claudette et moi l’avons vécue -. En cette année d’élections (2018), rappelons-nous de cette fameuse phrase de M. Jean Charest « Les deux mains sur le volant ». M. Charest a oublié de nous dire que la main gauche ferait le contraire de la main droite. La main droite nous donne des bonbons, vante l’architecture de M. Taillibert de par les rapports qu’elle se fait écrire ou par les expositions des œuvres de cet architecte, fait des annonces et nous donnent des cadeaux au moment où des élections se pointent pour faire oublier le travail de la main gauche. La main gauche te frappe de plein front avec des projets coûteux, mal préparés, selon les règles dénoncées d’Infrastructure Québec, faits sur mesure pour les amis, ignore M. Taillibert, cache ses décisions dans des documents dits confidentiels, etc., BREF Si je faisais de la politique, mon thème de campagne serait :- - Changeons le bras gauche pour notre bien d’abord -.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Give a Year. Change the World
    give a year. change the world. ANNUAL REPORT & DONOR RECOGNITION BOOK 2010 Dear Friends, Education is the foundation of the American dream. Yet more than one million students give up on school in the United States every year. The high school dropout crisis is a national epidemic that requires bold action. There is hope. We know how to identify the students most at risk and we know what they need to succeed. Research shows that we can identify students who are likely to drop out as early as middle school by tracking early warning indicators of poor attendance, behavior issues and course failure in math and English. City Year is harnessing the energy and idealism of young adults in national service and placing them in these high-need schools to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduation and life success. This year, City Year united more than 1,500 diverse young leaders in full-time service to help turn around our lowest performing schools, close the education achievement gap and help students succeed. City Year deploys our AmeriCorps members into high-poverty schools, serving as "near-peer" role models and performance coaches, helping students develop socio-emotionally and achieve academically. Corps members work with at-risk students from 7:30 a.m. until the last student leaves the after-school program at dusk. We are seeing promising results: sharp increases in student attendance, progress in behavior and improved course performance in math and English. In 2010, 90% of all students tutored by City Year improved raw literacy scores, and the number of students with less than 90% attendance was cut in half as a result of City Year’s attendance support activities.

ESSAY/BOOK REVIEW From the Land of Bondage:* The Greening of Major League Baseball Players and The Major League Baseball Players Association Michael J. Cozzillio ** Marvin Miller's book, A Whole Different Ballgame: The Sport and Busi- ness of Baseball, is a breezy, informative and certainly controversial chroni- cle of the evolution of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA or Players Association) from an amoebic, ill-defined amalgam of players to a fully-developed specimen of trade unionism in professional sports.' Readers who seek to be entertained will find the sports anecdotes and inside information replete with proverbial page-turning excitement and energy. Those who seek to be educated in many of the legal nuances and practical ramifications of collective bargaining, antitrust regulation, individ- ual contract negotiation, and varieties of arbitration in the world of Major League Baseball will find Miller's book illuminating.
